General discussion

Tracking discussions, not receiving emails.

Aug 6, 2006 12:45PM PDT

I've submitted a few posts tonight concerning scanning photos into my PC and I selected that all of my discussions be tracked.

I have received a few replies tonight to some of my posts but never received any email notifications from CNET to any of those replies.

Shouldn't I have receive an auto generated email from CNET once someone replies to one of my posts that I have marked the discussion be tracked?

It may be lagging...

It's frequently the case where you won't receive an e-mail until a couple hours after people have replied to the thread, so give it a little time and see if they come through. I've received a couple tonight so there system is still operational, though still slow.

It's 1:15 a.m., CDT Monday; August 07, 2006 as I type out this post and I still haven't received any emails to any of my tracked discussions from late yesterday so I'm calling it a night but I'll check back later today to see if the CNET email system is finally working.

Lagging???
Aug 8, 2006 4:31AM PDT

John..does 2 years still come under the category of ''lagging''? Grin Grin

I haven't gotten ''a one'' since day one! I hadn't even known it was an operating function, until recently. It was something I meant to ''deal with'', but haven't had the time... until now. I've had other members test it for me and it definitely is not working. I've tried re-entering my address - no success.

Any suggestions?

LOL Steve.. didn't mean to 'get um'....
Aug 8, 2006 8:34AM PDT

I'm only looking to find out why. In all fairness, I should have looked into this a long time ago. I wish it were a lag thing with me - albeit a ''short lag''.

Maybe if/when you get an answer, I will too.

And btw.. if I knew who to ''get''.. I would. And of course do so.. in the very sweetest of ways.Love

Well from the tone of your post it seemed to me that you were pretty wound up. Just to let you know I started receiving emails late today from CNET to my tracked discussions.

Great news, Big Steve!

Maybe I'll get mine too! Wink

And just to let you know.. if I was wound up that tight for two years? You would have heard me down in Biloxi many a moons ago! Grin

Glad to hear yours is working..

Well it's partly working; I haven't received an email from CNET notifying me of your latest post. I'll probably get something in the mail tomorrow.
